Go vote!

[flashy]

As for Flashytart - excellent thing you did, ripping your voting paper up - I was almost about to do that myself but at the last minute chickened out. I agree that 'none of the above' should be a box on the ballot paper.

i went down with my dad yesterday at 8.30 am neither of us had any intentions of voting for anyone knowing who was up for election, like i said, i gave in my card, got the ballot paper then ripped it up and gave it back to the two women who handed it to me, i must say that their face was a picture, i dont think they quite knew what to do with the ballot paper, all the bitching and bickering that has come to light through this thread is so pathetic, who gives anyone the right to dictate to anyone else? especially when they dont know the facts. As for 'none of the above' being a box, no, i would just have liked a third choice, why should i be made or expected to vote for EITHER Labour or Conservative?

Well flashy as you know I've like you did yesterday, in fact it made me smile, But I would have gone into the booth and writen something accross the paper, B******s maybe, then at least it would have made it to the count, not sure if ripping it up does or not, but at least you made a point and I applaud you for that

We got a ripped one at one of the Hull counts Ripped, scribbled on, whatever, it still counts as a vote I think because you took the effort to go there and do it.

Goodness me, Yolanda, sorry didn't mean to cause offence but to be honest I don't think I did with you did I?

I do believe everyone should vote, it's their right! However, I wasn't picking on you for not voting, simply that work in itself shouldn't be your excuse. If you don't vote, then say you don't vote, not got a problem with it but what I do have a problem with is someone, and we all know who that is, trying to make a problem when there isn't one!

MMM u either cant read properly or dont want to undestand what im saying, im not bothered about your comment or about anyone elses, like i said im free to vote or not, i havent had a go at you, what annoys me is people keep going on about something like you and other people did thats all, i could of gone to vote, i decided not to end of story.

 

[flashy]

if i voted for labour Cyfr that would have taken a vote off the conservatives, if i had voted for conservatives it would have taken a vote off labour, as i voted for neither, neither lost or gained a vote (i'm sure you know what i mean)

So now I can't win whatever I say.

I apologised for possibly having a go at you when I wasn't. I didn't make a big deal about it but I flippin well will now.

It wasn't me who kept dragging it up - it was someone else who appeared to want to make an argument with me and almost called me a racist for me picking up on something you said! My comment to you was fairly innocuous and not having a go at you at all. I realise you don't care what I think and I completely accept that but someone wanted to make us have an argument and it looks like he's succeeded!

So now that is 'end of story'.

Spin is not dead..........Racist?.........Rubbish.

I LOVE Accyweb!

For only here could a casual remark by a member about not voting lead to a full-blown row, complete with dark mutterings about "bullying" and "racism".

Classic stuff!

Who needs soaps when you've got Accyweb?

The way this mini witch hunt is going I think Yolanda and her family would be better off in Spain where the future of her children would be well looked after and would be welcomed without predjudice.

Take a look at this earlier post of yours and if you aren't implying that we're racist towards Yolanda because she's Spanish what exactly are you trying to say!!!

 

[Royboy39]

Maybe so, but you and I have a good command of the English habits and language but it could be that Yolanda is not fully conversant with our does and dont's......Spanish don't forget...and no detriment to the Spanish......I think I've said it before give her a chance to learn and don't kick her in the teeth.

Thats what I said............I stick by that.

And if that's not spin I don't know what is - completely ignoring my question because it obviously didn't fit in with the answer you wanted to give!!!

You could be right........Where do you want to go with this?

Can I make a suggestion where to go Roy, or are we doing a democratic vote?

Gayle, no point in trying to explain, we know you're not racist and it desperate measures when someone tries to accuse you of being

Read the thread properly before making stupid comments.

 

[onlyme]

Yep

Done that

And....?

Go back to bed and sleep it off

 

[onlyme]

ermmmmm, not entirely sure what you're trying to get at there, but i'm sure you'll enlighten me further down the line

 

[Gayle]

Absolutely nowhere!

 

[Royboy39]

I didnt vote either.Who wants to shoot me??

Think its amusing though, how this political thread has no political arguments, just a lot of b*tching between individuals, and seemingly mild posts being taken to heart. Have i missed the school bell yet?

I think you might have done just that.....as for shooting...you have just shot yourself in the foot by making crass comments on a discussion you obviously have not been following

 

[flashy]

Roy i think the words 'jumping on the bandwagon' best describe her, she's always doing it, you just learn to ignore it
